Lunalight Deck #765039 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Liger Dancer, Leo Dancer, Panther Dancer, Sabre Dancer or Cat Dancer from the Extra Deck and attack through a board of 3000+ ATK monsters (Inferred from card text).; Xyz and Link follow-up from Level 4 Beast-Warrior and Tri-Brigade bodies, plus Lunalight Tiger and Wolf re-summons (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight starter (Gold Leo, Fire Formation - Tenki or Masquerade), search or reach Polymerization / Lunalight Fusion / Heavy Polymerization, and Fusion Summon a Dancer while keeping Ash Blossom up for the first response (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner and Maxx C to answer the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild the Fusion line from the GY through Kaleido Chick, Yellow Marten and Silver Hound recursion (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Black Sheep, Kaleido Chick, Emerald Bird, Perfume Dancer returns and Luna Light Perfume, which re-summons a Lunalight from the GY (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games in this format (verified: side_count 0).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Lunalight starter (30 archetype copies give P(at least one in an opening 5) ≈ 0.9996), but the Fusion enabler is the real gate: the three direct Polymerization-type cards give P ≈ 0.34 in a 5-card hand, rising to roughly 0.64 once the Masquerade and Black Sheep searches are counted (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the Extra Deck, with three Dancer lines at 3000-3800 ATK, double attacks and protection from opposing effects, and its interruption resilience comes from Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Maxx C and the recursion chain through the GY. The score rests on consistency, recursion and closing power on the system as a whole, not on averaging the card scores, and popularity did not earn points because no tournament or win-rate data exists. Six Mulcharmy copies that need an empty field, plus a zero-copy Side Deck, hold the score back.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 61, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine_conflict (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); 0.80*63.8 + 0.20*58 = 62.6, then modifier -3 = 59.6, rounded to 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is almost always reachable (P ≈ 0.9996 for at least one core card in an opening 5)
• Dancer Fusions give high ATK and protection from opposing effects, so the closing power is strong
• Deep recursion through the GY (Kaleido Chick, Yellow Marten, Silver Hound, Emerald Bird) keeps the line alive after interruption
• Ash Blossom x3 and Ghost Mourner x2 cover the common first responses

Weaknesses

• Direct Fusion enablers are thin (3 cards), so the opening-hand starter is roughly one-in-three without the search cards
• Six Mulcharmy cards conflict with the field-based Lunalight plan and add brick risk
• No Side Deck, so the list cannot adapt between games
• Zoodiac Xyz cards have few Zoodiac enablers and add dead-card risk

Critical choke points

• Polymerization-type access: the Fusion Summon depends on Polymerization, Lunalight Fusion or Heavy Polymerization, or a search card that fetches them
• Opening hands with no Lunalight starter and no searcher reach the Extra Deck only by chance

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in master-duel: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side within the size rules; Three Limited cards (Foolish Burial, Maxx C, Zoodiac Broadbull) each run at their legal copy count; Exact-name purity 49.1%; 30 archetype core copies; 68% of the usage-stat core is present
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.34 direct, ≈ 0.64 with search cards; Hand-trap access P ≈ 0.58 going second; Recursion and interruption resilience read from card text; Dancer closing power read from stat and text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered, so post-side performance is unassessable
